Technology is a GOOD THING. Well, most of the time it is.
I’m sure you’ve seen articles bemoaning the NEGATIVE role that technology advancement has played in our lives. I have recently joined the ranks of those doing the bemoaning.
GADGETS ARE GREAT
Don’t get me wrong—I’m a tech guy through and through. I’ve chosen to work in the technology industry for 20 years, and I love gadgets as well as the next guy.

Product Management--what does this mean in a High Tech company? What is the function, and where does it belong? I've held permanent positions in a number of high tech concerns, as with PJM Consulting I have worked with many more in a consulting capacity.
Product Management is all over the map in High Tech. Most often it resides in the marketing department.

3). Looking For Computer Education
Its really amazing to see how the computer industry has established its dominance over the world. Had you ever have a thought in the 80’s that computers would be so much important just like our right hand? Today, computers are used for every small task. Be it online banking, ordering clothes, sending messages we use computers.
This is the reason why computer education is a must today to work in society or own a business.

5). Pricing High Tech Products
Copyright 2006 PJM Consulting
Pricing is always an interesting topic, but even more so in the High Tech and Software worlds. In the consumer products business, if there is a package of frozen peas from Green Giant that’s priced at $3.99, you’re not likely to see someone else’s same-size package of peas priced at $14.99. But in High Tech, things are different.

Have your ever heard (or thought) the following? "We're a startup software company. We'll attack our home market first, then think about international markets."
Wrong answer! (In most cases, anyway). I work with a lot of startups, and I hear the above all too often. Especially when the founder or CEO comes from a technical background.
